"Vultures of Tenderness"

Not Not Fun

Artists:

In just under four minutes, Xander Harris' "Vultures of Tenderness" takes the listener on a short but satisfying journey, opening with a cavernous boom-beat rhythm as it eventually hits a steady 4/4 groove, accumulating electronic detritus along the way as arpeggiated synths drop in menacingly. The Austin-based artist has made something is dark and chilly, not too dissimilar to kindred spirit and sometime split-release-sharer Dylan Ettinger-- only whereas Ettinger turned to brittle synth-flecked goth on last year's beguiling Lifetime of Romance, here Harris goes for something deeper and more sumptuous. The track's taken from Harris' new album, The New Dark Age of Love, which sees release on April 2 via Not Not Fun.
